Eye vs Camera
Added 2023-11-26 20:00:42 +0000 UTCThere was a gorgeous 2 pm sunset today as we were driving home. For a moment everything was in rose gold and glittery silver white, and breathtakingly beautiful. I didn't even want to take pictures of it because I knew that the camera can't see what I'm seeing. I couldn't resist the urge to try, anyhow. I painted over one of the photos just now, editing it to show you the difference between what I clearly saw, and what my phone camera (a joyless nihilist who refuses to see beauty in anything) wanted to show.

I gave up trying to photograph very beautiful scenic areas to REALLY capture all the beauty some years ago. I was in a very beautiful part of Asia close to the HImalayas but no matter how much I tried my limited photographic skills just never could catch the amazingness of it all.
